What is on your mind

[Sassy]

Sagittarius: You are receiving a burst of positive energy now, but it's not without complications. You're ready to take a trip -- in the real world or within the realms of your own mind. Either way, you have something to learn and are eager to get started. But first, you must take care of your chores. You won't be able to step into the next adventure until you finish what's already on your plate.

One rose bed done, one to go and about 50 MILLION weeds to pull in the big flowerbed...

The sun is not out playing today, making what is generally a good time into more of a chore...

My 16 year old niece and her friend are sleeping peacefully upstairs.... I'm wondering how long I should wait before I give them an obnoxiously cheerful wake up call.... Muahahah!

So I was laying in bed, half asleep still just trying to open my eyes and focus on the day when I begin to listen to the news... something about how Obama can't blame bush anymore for the economy and as long as he can keep saying the economy is getting even a little better, then he is in the clear.

The economy is getting better?? hmmm... This is what I see in my neck of the woods and frankly everywhere I've been in the past couple of years....
Small business is losing out and fading into history, fewer stores for people to spend money at means they have to go where they can get what they need, larger stores that sell it all and the mass majority go to for thier goods. So the larger stores show a better bottom line but its at the cost of the small business...
Such a vicious circle we spread to thin and then have to regroup to the mass build ourselves up just to spread out again. When will we find that perfect balance to sustain our society?

This weekend with Clay...a most wonderful day yesterday...a bench...a beach...having a "half-goat" at lunch (lol...not the actual animal, we're talking cheese)...frozen custard surprises......perfect shells...that beautiful feather we found...horrid traffic in St Augustine was way worse than in Jacksonville...the strange Shih Tzu man...small gator in the canal...the pod of dolphins we saw on Friday...my car now 75% safer to drive...lol...weiner dog wake-ups...laughing together about a certain picnic menu...pics taken...ugh, now we have to unload my car but we'll be doing it together and that makes it enjoyable...

The worst part is that many of these stores are buying their goods from third world countries, not the United States (or Canada) so they aren't even putting their own country to work. So not only are the small businesses closing, but the factories that make the goods to be bought in these stores are also closing. It sucks all the way around.

Wouldn't it be nice if Obama made it a law that at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the merchandise has to be from your own country? Imagine how many people would be working then. Not only that, but more would be buying too.
Why is it so hard to figure that out?

This baby with SMA and her parents, who are blogging her Bucket List.

She's not expected to make her 2nd birthday.

So sad, but I love, absolutely love what her parents are doing to raise awareness of Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

You know, I really enjoy being a loner. I enjoy the quiet solitude of my head. While I like hanging out with friends and can be social with the best of them, I do not require constant company. Also, like my Mother, I don't have many people that are close friends. I don't have anyone, even my one closest friend, that I require or even like to talk to every day. But very, VERY rarely there are days like today. A day that I wish I had that someone that I could just go to, lay my head on their shoulder, feel their arm around me and just get lost in my grief. A friend that would reaffirm what I know, but am having trouble grasping in the moment. That for everything there is a time and a purpose. That patience, while not my friend, can be a companion. That if it's meant to be, it will be. Just to help remind me of my joy, that will return quickly, while I wallow in my despair for the short moment.

Pajara, I loved what you wrote and really related to it, especially this part:

"That patience, while not my friend, can be a companion."

I think patience is stronger for me when I look back and admit that there's a cycle—things went up, went down, went up again, and so on. Yeah, based on what I've already experienced, I can say with some confidence, It gets better—sometimes not as fast as I'd like, but in general, I turn it around. I always called it "resiliency," that ability to outlive the bad parts, but I think it's also a function of "patience."

Thanks for your post!
